Patricia is the best. We can enjoy ourselves and not have to worry about our fur kids when we go out of town. It makes a world of difference. She did house sitting last time and took the boys out for walks and even brought in our mail and hauled in a bunch of packages on our porch. So glad we found her. She is patient with our dogs, one of them takes a little longer to warm up to others. We will be repeat customers for sure!

Absolutely outstanding service. Attention to detail and communication. The best sitter I have utilized to date. Thank you Anna for taking care of my fur babies while we were out on storm restoration. Definitely my first call on the next.

About: I have had anywhere from 1-5 dogs at a time my whole life. I have had many breed and all age ranges from 8 weeks to 15 years old. I have a handful of pet/house sitting experience and looking for more opportunities! I have a full time job and have my own business so my schedule can be kind of busy, but, I try to make everything work! Reach out and I’ll fit you into my schedule! I work overnights in other peoples home as one of my jobs, so I have experience in respecting other peoples spaces. I am willing to adapt to your home situation/rules whether that’s fence, no fence, on/off leash, etc. I will give your animals lots of love and treat them as my own.

About: I have had pets since I was 4 years old. If you’re a dog owner, you know how hard it can be to leave your pup at home and trust someone else to care for them. That’s where I come in! I truly love dogs and treat every one like family with patience, attention, and lots of care. Whether your dog needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or a ride to an appointment, I’m here to help. You can count on me to provide reliable, loving care , so you feel at ease while you’re away. Your dog’s happiness and safety are my top priorities🥰 Message me anytime. I’d love to meet you and your furry friend! I'm actually working a full time job, but I'm always available during evenings and nights. And most of weekends or very early in the mornings. I can take care of your dogs in your home so they feel comfortable in their own environment. I can stay overnight or do visits.

About: I’ve had dogs for 7 years and regularly care for my parents’ and sister’s dogs. You can count on me to keep your home tidy, stick to your pet’s routine, and provide regular updates—because peace of mind is just as important as excellent care. I am a teacher, so during the school year I will be available weeknights and any time on weekends. During holiday breaks I’ll have more availability! When caring for a client’s pet in their home, I prioritize maintaining the pet’s normal routine to minimize stress and ensure comfort. I follow all instructions carefully regarding feeding, litter box cleaning, medications, and playtime. I take the time to bond with each pet, offering affection and attention on their terms—whether that’s active play or quiet companionship. I also respect the client’s space, keeping things tidy and secure, and I provide regular updates with photos and notes so they know their pet is safe and happy. My goal is to make both the pet and the owner feel completely at ease while they’re apart.

About: Pets and animals have been a part of my life since I was a small girl. My last dog has gone over the rainbow bridge and I have been looking for ways to share my love for fur babies ever since. I believe that pets are family and need to be treated as such. By providing high-quality petsitting, I want owners to not feel any anxiety while they are away from their fur babies. I have had dogs that needed daily medication, I have taken care of an epileptic dog, and dogs with high anxiety/high energy with high success. I know that every pet is different and will follow any and all instructions exactly as they are given to ensure the best quality of service! I can’t wait to meet your fluffy family members!

Paul is the person you want to care for your home and your pets while you are away! His communication was excellent, he sent frequent photos of our cat, and he took great care of everything household, even completing an unexpected household maintenance task. We returned to a pristinely clean home with everything organized so nicely for our home. I had confidence he would care lovingly for our cat from when they first met. Paul gave the immediate impression that he loves animals and has an innate sense for their needs. Thank you, Paul, for giving us a worry-free time away from home.

We had such a great experience with Allison! She is absolutely amazing and took such great care of our pups while we were away. We got regular updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind. It is clear our dogs were happy, loved, and in great hands. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again! 🐾

About: I've had pets all my life and would love to care for yours too, on a temporary basis. I love to vacation and often struggle with finding a solution for my babies while I'm gone. For me my favorite choice is to have someone I know and trust stay in my home but there's hardly ever anyone available for that kind of commitment! I thought it would be awesome to be able to provide that kind of care for someone else: house/pet sitting, drop-in, or just walks/exercise. I want you to know your pets are loved and treated with gentle kindness. I recognize that I'm kind of a stranger to your babies and I'll treat them like my own and earn their trust! They'll be loved and cared for in a way that will make your absence less stressful for them and as much like their normal days as it can be while you're away. I take my responsibilities to others extremely seriously and won't be satisfied unless you are! I'm retired so my schedule is very flexible! I have availability on weekdays and weekends both. Mornings, afternoons, and evenings are fine by mutual agreement. I enjoy taking find for walks or just playing outside in the yard. On days where weather is bad, I'm happy to get the dogs outside to do their business and then play a bit indoors!

About: I’ve had dozens of people rely on me in the past to care for their dogs - walking, dog park, baths, feed - I’ll do it all! I currently work full time from the comfort of my home with my 6 little loves. I’m available mornings & evenings for drop ins but can do mid day as well! My go-to is taking pups to the dog park whether that’s alone or with friends to let them explore and have fun! We enjoy the outdoors so our pups love hiking, swimming, and playing fetch!!

Mckenzie and Anthony were a great duo. This was the first time our puppy had anyone watch him and our dog is a little shy and nervous. They did great with him. They spent the night with my dogs and sent videos and photos multiple times a day. Anthony even took our garbage out to the curb on garbage day and we never would have even asked him to do that! Fantastic experience. Definitely, will hire them again!

Mackenzie did great taking care of my two dogs and my house for 8 days. One of my dogs had just had surgery before Mackenzie started watching them and she did great with post op instructions for my healing puppy. I would recommend her to anyone!

About: Spending time and interacting with animals has always been a passion of mine. Over the years I helped my grandma run her dog sitting service, taking the dogs for walks and cleaning up the kennels. I also enjoy being outside and taking my own dog for long walks and fun trips to the dog park. My dog is a family member and I intend on treating yours the same way. Your dog will have a great time exploring the city and playing with others at the dog park. I hope to someday have my own place where I can board dogs just like grandma did!!! I spend 90% of my time with dogs and we enjoy playing with other pups at the dog parks, we are traveling nomads and look forward to meeting you My dogs live in my van with me Both are crate trained. I feed my dogs twice a day. They enjoy laying around the house being lazy. Going to the dog park to play with others is always fun too!!! We also enjoy walking

Sam did great with our mini Aussie and 3 cats while we were out of town for a week. Our dog can be a handful at times and she did very well with him. Our cats took to her right away. I would definitely recommend Sam for house/pet sitting.

We are a first time Rover family. Patricia was responsible, reliable, responsive and simply lovely. She took great care of our pets and home. She was a total gem—sent lots of pictures, took lots of walks. She even brought in our mail (which we totally forgot about). Thank you, Patricia!
